Welcome to The Conversations - with Jason Campbell and Henrietta Gallina. We started our DIY podcast as a means to document our frequent conversations about fashion and culture. We're hoping to develop and evolve our outlook throughout this process and speak to others who can help to inform and push our conversations forward. We're just two friends with a lot opinions and we hope you enjoy and participate in The Conversations.

For this episode, we conclude 2019 discussing a big topic that has had Jason riled up for a while re: black leadership in fashion.
Black is in. The visibility of blacks in fashion as models, stylists and influencers is at a high. The influence of black culture from the dominant streetwear trend to the current curvy ruling body standard are setting the fashion trends. Loose organization surrounding the return to Ghana has well up among the black creative elite and an overall reverence for the Renaissance of the African motherland is afoot, but worryingly this black “uprising” lacks leadership. What looks like an opportunity to make some corrections and reparations as it relates to representation and recognition in fashion, is being Shanghai-ed by self-interested players plotting their own payday. Here, we talk about the advancements and the challenges, and address the question, where is the black leadership in fashion?
We're incredibly grateful for all the love and support in 2019 and since we started the podcast! We will be back in Feb 2020 with all new episodes. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy, engage and rate (*****) this Conversation and we'll be back soon!
